Any update? You sparked my interest with the 25 watters

I kinda gave up on my journal and focused just on getting good at growing. That is why i flaked on the updates. But I need to start a new grow journal. My new setup is completely different.

The second I saw just spent $700 I decided not to continue following you.

sorry to hear that, but ive spent probably close to $2,000 now on everything all together. I have a decent job now so i can afford just to toss money at problems like spider mites. SNS 217 is like 40$ a bottle and does an ok job killing the mites but i have to use it regularly, so i go through a bottle every week now. And I have dumped like 400$ into a decent nutrient mix, but the results are worth it.

Growing on a 200$ budget will not get you the same quality and yield as growing on a 2,000$ budget.

2 crops later and my setup has paid for its self, so to me it was worth the investment.

Sup Copycat, I would love to see your set up, are you keeping this journal? I would like to sub so let me know where your next journal will be or if your going to use this one. As far as spending money is concerned, if it fits your budget go for it!

Peace
